It says 1,100kg of explosives had been placed deep under water over the course of several months and detonated remotely before 05:00 local time this morning.

I wonder how many of these long term plays Ukraine has left up it's sleeve, I love to see them in action.

Russia blindly bombs some kids in their apartment, Ukraine spends months targeting critical infrastructure and military hardware.

I suspect that Trump getting elected lit a fire under all of these larger plans. Once the talks stalled, Kyiv had to make some big plays to bring Russia to the negotiating table. If this doesn't do it, they might even have another ready to go.
